MCB

The tubes of the new MCB series are a highly integrated and reliable ready-to-use component for radiation applications, which until now were not feasible due to the lack of robustness, size, or stability requirements. 

The MCB tubes currently available cover the range up to 65kV of radiation energy and up to 50 W of maximum anode load. 

At present time, our company is running a development project on the production technology of the MCB type X-ray tubes. The goals of this project are the improvement of the existing technology and making available new tube designs in the near future. 

Most of the advantages of MCB technology can be used to make small anode-grounded metal-ceramic X-ray tubes as well. These could be water- or air-cooled and reach power ranges up to 1 kW at voltages up to lOOkV. 

Sharper focusing will extend the use of the MCB tubes to imaging systems in low-power NDT and medical applications. 

The MCB tubes suit ideally into a concept of using glass capillary X-ray light guides to increase radiation intensity at the measurement spot. 

One class of large molecules that was investigated relatively early was liquid crystals [37, 38], and in particular the group 4-n-alkyl-4 -cyanbiphenyl (mCB). These molecules fonu a highly crystalline surface adlayer, and STM images clearly show the characteristic shape of the molecule (figure B 1.19.8).

MCCB (moulded case circuit breaker) or MCB (miniature circuit breaker) and contactor] and the overload relay. These recommendations permit damage of components on fault to varying degrees as noted below ... 

In such cases it may ollen be possible to meet the requirement by selecting a higher frame size of MCB or MCCB, which inay possess a higher rupturing capacity also. If not, and to save on cost, one may provide HRC fuses for back-up protection. 

A breaker, usually an MCCB or an MCB on an LT system, can be provided with backup HRC fuses to enhance their short-time rating. This may be done when the available MCCBs or MCBs possess a lower short-time rating than the fault level of the circuit they are required to protect, and make them suitable for the fault level of the circuit. But this is not a preferred practice and is seldom used. As a rule of thumb, the device that is protecting must be suitable to withstand electrically and endure mechanically the system fault current for a duration of one or three seconds, according to the system design. 

Examples are HRC fuses (both LT and HT) and MCCBs and MCBs (LT only), which are available with current limiting features and are in extensive use. The tripping time of these devices is extremely low and much less than one half of a cycle of the current wave. They therefore do not allow the fatilt ctirrent to rise to its prospective peak. The protected devices and components can thus be selected based on the let-out energy of such devices on fault, which is extremely low, than the fault level of the system. If...

MCBs have been confused before. Different ratings look alike, and the part numbers are haid to read and are usually of the forms 123456-2.5 and 123456-25 [8].
